You would be able to stack two news widgets on ‘top’ of one another inside any of the four footer widget areas/sidebars. So you would put an English title and make selection of the English categories are, add (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == ‘en’) in the widget logic box, and save without touching the Russian identical news widget below the first in the same widget area.

Then switch to Russian and without touching the English plugin you select the Rus. categories and use the code (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == ‘ru’) for the Widget Logic Box on the bottom of that widget.

Hey! Unfortunately I am not quite sure why this is happening but the thread is market and on my todo list. we have just released an update for choices and once the other themes received theirs I will dig deeper into the issue and hopefully find whats causing the problem.
